When shopping for a luxury hot tub, one decision can shape your entire spa experience: should you choose a hot tub lounger or not? This sleek, reclined seat promises full-body relaxation—but it’s not for everyone. At Maple Spas, we believe every wellness moment should feel personal. Here's how to find the seat that suits you best.
What Exactly Is a Hot Tub Lounger?
A hot tub lounger is an extended, ergonomic seat designed to cradle your body from head to toe. Unlike upright seats, loungers allow you to fully stretch your legs, often with jets that target your calves, feet, and lower back. It’s the closest thing to floating in luxury—and a signature feature in many Maple spas models.
Why You Might Love a Hot Tub Lounger
A thoughtfully designed lounger can elevate your spa time into something deeply restorative.
Here’s what makes it shine:
Space to fully recline and decompress
Leg and foot jets for targeted massage
No shared footwell—no more accidental kicks
A sunbed-style seat perfect for solo serenity
Encourages stillness and deeper relaxation
In short, it’s an effortless blend of design and comfort—hallmarks of Maple Spas.
When a Lounger Might Not Be Ideal
Even luxury has its limits. Before committing, consider a few realities of spa loungers:
Reduced capacity
A lounger often replaces two upright seats
Fit matters
Taller or shorter individuals may feel less supported
Social angle
Loungers face outward, making conversation less natural
Not all loungers are created equal
Poorly designed ones can feel awkward
That’s why we always recommend testing spa models, dry or wet, before deciding.
What If You Prefer Upright Seats?
No problem—upright seating can be just as luxurious. With thoughtful jet placement and ergonomic curves, traditional seats allow for:
Better group interaction
A wider range of users
Optional leg and foot jets, depending on the model
Whether you’re entertaining or enjoying family time, upright seats are versatile and inviting.
Double Loungers: The Best of Both Worlds
Love the lounger too much to share? Some Maple spas models include two loungers, so both you and your partner can unwind in style. These spas are ideal for couples and create a cozy, symmetrical layout—though they may seat fewer overall guests.
Final Thoughts: Listen to Your Lifestyle
Choosing a hot tub lounger comes down to lifestyle and preference. Whether you opt for the sleek recline of a lounger or the versatility of upright seats, Maple Spas ensures every detail is crafted with your comfort in mind.
